An Alpena motorcyclist involved in an accident on US 23 in Benton Township late Wednesday has died.
Michigan State Police confirmed Thursday that Mark Cousineau, 51, died at McLaren Northern Michigan at Petoskey after being admitted in critical condition following a crash involving a second vehicle.
Cousineau was driving a 2005 Harley Davidson Electra Glide eastbound on US 23 at 2:50 p.m. Wednesday when a pick-up truck traveling the opposite direction made a left turn in front of him, Michigan State Police said.
The driver of a 2008 GMC Sierra, 60-year-old Mark Kadrovach of Benton Township, told Troopers that he was headed west on US 23 and did not see the motorcycle when he turned left into a road leading to his driveway. The motorcycle clipped the right rear bumper of the pick-up, throwing Cousineau to the roadway.
Troopers said that Cousineau was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, but that a helmet was found in the motorcycle's saddlebag.
The accident remains under investigation, and results will be forwarded to the Cheboygan County prosecutor.
